Ps...there's a great Springsteen bootleg called How Nebraska was Born. Well worth seeking out for any roots/Americana/country writer. It has a treasure trove of his worktapes from the Nebraska/BitUSA era (they were basically the same project). It's been speculated he left his personal cassettes at the studio when he stepped out and an employee made copies and bootlegged them. You can hear him turning the pages in his notebook during the recordings.

Much of it will probably be released on the inevitable $150 fortieth anniversary box set. It might also be on YouTube.
